Too Bad I Take Things Seriously-Chapter 607 - 234 Zhang Qingyuan: When did I become so influential? _4

Fearing that Zhang Qingyuan might assign them more tasks.

In the banquet hall, Qin Mu, having finished greeting guests with Zhang Qingyuan, returned to his seat, joining Zhang Wei, Wang Dachui, and others at their table.

"Old Zhang’s setup... is really grand," Wang Dachui remarked, looking around.

The current banquet hall, apart from the relatives and friends of Zhang Qingyuan and Feng Cuihua, was entirely filled with lawyers in formal attire. There wasn’t a single empty seat; it was quite lively. Many of these lawyers were highly reputable in Jin City. Previously, they were unapproachable figures to him. But who would have imagined... Old Zhang throws a wedding, and this crowd comes rushing over. He still felt like he was in a dream.

"Mr. Wang, our firm is currently missing someone to play a key role. This might be more suitable for your development and allow your talents to be fully utilized... I hope you will seriously consider it," Zhang Wei said, resuming his persuasion. Ever since they met, Zhang Wei had taken the initiative to sit next to him. He began to recruit him. Zhang Wei said he valued Wang Dachui’s talent and wanted to create a bright future together, aiming to make their firm the top one in Jin City. As for the salary, he offered 30,000, along with case commissions, annual benefits, and more.

To be honest, he was truly tempted. But... he felt it was a bit fantastical. Zhang Wei’s Legal Pioneer Law Firm specialized in criminal sentence reduction, while he was originally a civil lawyer who had just self-studied criminal law. His salary at the nursing home was only 4,000 a month. For it to suddenly jump to 30,000... It seemed a bit outrageous no matter how he looked at it.

"This matter... I’ll think about it first," Wang Dachui said, not daring to agree hastily, fearing some catch in the offer.

"Alright, I look forward to our cooperation," Zhang Wei replied with a slight smile, nodding very politely.

Right after, the lawyers at their table started chatting again. The topics discussed... were about the cases they had handled recently, the challenging issues they encountered, and the absurd clients they met.

"Sigh, it’s tough to run a law firm these days; I don’t know why, but there’ve been far fewer cases in Jin City."

"Exactly, not just criminal cases, but even civil litigation has dropped a lot."

"Previously, we used to handle cases involving automotive part replacements, loan disputes, bank savings disputes, property disputes, and intermediary disputes. But now, they’re sadly few."

"I miss that time with over 3,000 defendants..."

"..."

These lawyers at the table, while talking, couldn’t help but steal glances at Qin Mu. They seemed to be hinting at something, whether intentionally or not.

During this period, the number of cases and disputes in Jin City had noticeably decreased. According to relevant department statistics, last month’s public security situation in Jin City was excellent. Not to mention crimes, even illegal activities had decreased by 30 percent. As a result, many law firms were facing closure due to a lack of cases.

"It’s indeed tough to work in this field now," Qin Mu, sitting next to Zhang Wei, chimed in, showing his understanding. Indeed, without cases and disputes, law firms couldn’t get business. No business meant no income. However, both civil and criminal cases are unpredictable.

In the banquet hall, the lawyers at the other tables were also discussing the recent state of the industry. For a while, there was a general atmosphere of sighing and lamenting, a sense of despondency about the industry being in a slump.

Not long after, at twelve noon, the time for the wedding ceremony arrived. Amidst the joyous music, the emcee walked to the center of the stage.

"Hello everyone, I’m the emcee for today. I’m very fortunate to host the wedding of these two seniors here. First, I would like to thank all the guests..." The emcee first introduced himself, then extended his thanks. Finally, he began to share the story of how the two seniors met, got to know each other, fell in love, and decided to marry. The story... naturally revolved around the nursing home.

"Congratulations to Senior Zhang Qingyuan and Senior Feng Cuihua for finding love in the nursing home and stepping into marriage together today, to cherish each other and walk through life hand in hand."

The emcee held the microphone, his voice reverberating through the hall.
